You Buy Organic Produce. Why Not Organic Tampons?
The average woman will use 12,000 tampons in her lifetime. What you put in your body matters. All tampons are not created equal. Very few are organic cotton. And most have other ingredients in them. So read labels and know what you're buying. Organic Cotton Super Plus Applicator Tampons 14 ct Emerita

Feminine Hygeine Products Are Not All Created Equal.
The vagina is a delicate place. It's like a little ecosystem with its own balance of good bacteria. And it's one of the most chemically absorbent places in the body. Which is why Emerita makes sure to use the highest-quality ingredients available in their products.

When it comes to tampons and pads, what's health got to do with it?
A lot, it turns out. Here are 8 reasons you (and your daughters, sisters and friends) just may want to change your brand. Tampons and pads are probably the last thing you want to think about, right? Out of sight, out of mind! Unfortunately, it’s what you’re not thinking about that could be the problem.

As the women of Emerita set out to launch a new brand of tampons and pads, here are a few things they learned along the way:

1: Most tampons and pads are not made of cotton.
Emerite asked a number of women what they think their tampons are made of, and without exception, they heard the word “cotton.” And, true, if you read the ingredient label on your tampon box (be forewarned: you’ll need a magnifying glass), it probably lists cotton – along with a bunch of other ingredients, like rayon, polyester, polyethylene, perfume, and something referred to as “fiber finishes,” whatever they are. Cotton is naturally breathable, hypoallergenic and absorbent. Companies are going to a lot of trouble to manufacture materials that are kind of like cotton, but when all is said and done, they simply are not cotton.

2: That vaginal itching you experience from time to time may have something to do with the kind of pads or tampons you use.
Your vagina is like an ecosystem and it doesn’t take much to upset its delicate balance. Health experts agree: the number one way to avoid yeast infections? Wear cotton underwear. They also suggest avoiding scented tampons and pads. Cotton is naturally breathable and naturally wicks moisture.

3: Toxic Shock Syndrome did not go away after Rely Tampons were taken off the market back in the early ‘80s.
Every box of tampons sold in the United States carries a warning label as a result of a wave of Toxic Shock Syndrome deaths in the late 1970s that were linked to the use of super-absorbent tampons. One brand of tampons associated with the outbreak—Rely—was taken off the market, and warning labels were made mandatory. But Toxic Shock Syndrome (often referred to as TSS) didn’t go away. It just didn’t make big news any more. The warning labels state that the incidence of TSS is 17 in 100,000 women. But because the symptoms of TSS resemble the flu, it may be under-reported.

In the 1990s another round of menstrual TSS research was done, and this time it showed that the TSS bacteria grew in tampons made with rayon, but not in cotton tampons. The independent study’s lead researcher, Dr. Philip Tierno, has advocated against rayon tampons ever since.67.16
